Stormlikes Review
A 2020 update to this provider
It appears that the original version of this website is stormlikes.com. There have been a couple of copycat websites popping up trying to use a similar domain name including stormlikes.net and stormlike.net and probably a few others, if you come across any others please let us know. It is unclear whether these are all owned by the same individuals but it’s safe to say that these websites should be avoided. The strormlikes.net website seems to specialize in sending Instagram followers that just fall off after a few days. When posting a review please be sure to indicate which domain you ordered from. We will try to create individual pages for each website should we find it necessary.
About this provider
[wpsm_inline_list][/wpsm_inline_list]
Stormlikes is yet another service that promises to provide you with Instagram likes and video views in exchange for your money. You can buy likes for your Instagram posts or views for Instagram videos, and the service claims to deliver them through “real users”.
In addition to that, the service offers features such as targeting by country and gender, random number of likes on each post, and the option to delay the delivery of likes for natural progression of a post. To add some icing on that cake of features, the service also comes with a nominal subscription fee.
But since all of these benefits in one platform sounded too good to be true, we had to check it out for ourselves. Here’s what we found.
Speed of Delivery
One of the most important aspects for any of such services is the speed at which the likes are delivered. Storm likes come at a speed that is too fast to be realistic. A major selling point of the service is that your posts get noticed a little after 30 seconds. It makes good on that promise alright. However, the influx of likes that come within a few minutes after that make it clear to actual users and your target audience that there’s something fishy going on with your likes. While the service does state that it lets you “delay your likes”, the damage is done by the time you get to that option. To add to that problem, no extra options are available to change the delivery speed besides “delaying the likes”.
Quality of Accounts
Stormlikes may leave a lot to be desired in terms of delivery, but it doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the quality of accounts from where you receive likes. The accounts that come with the service have their own social media standing. They have profile pictures, user engagements, and followers of their own, which makes your received likes to seem more authentic. Since this is something that goes a long way in building your Instagram presence to others, this aspect sings strongly in favor of the service.
Stormlikes Targeting Options
Another thing that sets the service apart from others is how you can actually set targeting options for accounts from where you want to receive likes. You can choose to receive likes from a list of available countries. You can even select whether you want more likes from a specific gender. The options work as they are intended to. You get likes from specific regions, which is something that works as a plus point if you want to build your Instagram fan base in a specific niche. Randomization Can Be Put to Work A nifty feature on the service is how you can set the option to “randomize your likes”. Let’s say you have 10 posts on your Instagram account. Each of those posts has around 250 likes, no matter what time of day they were posted or what the actual content of the post was. That would seem suspicious to others, wouldn’t it? This service lets you steer clear from those dangerous waters by letting you randomize your likes on each post. But the catch is that this option is only more usable by those who purchase monthly plans from the service.
Support
The support on the service is not out of the ordinary, nor does it leave a lot to be desired. There are no live chat options or a direct phone number available, but the website does have the option to send email or ticket-like inquiry messages. When you send an inquiry, you receive a response within a few minutes to a few hours, which is a normal turnaround time for a service of this kind.
Stormlikes Pricing
Reliability is Questionable Due to a Lack of PayPal
One of the things that stood out to us while assessing the service is how it offers a few payment options, but not so surreptitiously leaves out PayPal. This could be irksome to a lot of people since they then have to get their credit cards out of their pockets.
The lack of Paypal integration is a bit concerning for a variety of reasons but one them is a huge red flag.
The biggest advantage of using PayPal over such services is that you can file disputes if things don’t turn out as expected. That’s why, this service’s avoidance to accept PayPal is a red flag.
Some online reviews point out that the site did use to accept payments through PayPal, but it stopped providing the option. This lack of a PayPal payment option could mean that the service is either trying to avoid disputes, or that it got so many disputes that it couldn’t use PayPal anymore.
This is a factor that you would have to watch out for.
Stormlikes Conclusion
The service can be a great option if you are looking to receive likes from accounts that seem real, but are not too concerned about how fast those likes are delivered. While the most glaring problems we noticed pertained to delivery speed and the convenience of payment options, the service does have an overall positive note to it. All in all, it could definitely be given a try if you are assessing a few services before choosing one for good. With the current promotion that the provider has running at the time of writing this review, you can get 50 likes for free and test the quality of accounts and speed of delivery for yourself.

Penny –
I was not very happy with the speed of the likes. Either they came in within seconds or it took a few hours.
The profiles were all Asian which leads me to suspect they were cheap bot account.
Support sent canned responses.
The price was nice though and only cards were accepted. The charge came from Russia which my bank had questions about.
Overall I was not too happy.
Minerva –
Storm likes wasn’t too bad. The likes came in reliably I just needed better quality likes. It seems like they are using a lot of Brazilian accounts. Lots of little dudes that don’t like to wear shirts liking my posts looked kind of weird.
Martin –
bad website all his likes from India
Bernadette –
Went down today and quit responding to my emails. I had to find a new provider.
Trey –
I was a customer of theirs. They constantly go down and send out no notifications when they do. They also offer incintives to post positive reviews.
Mary –
Super fast likes. It was amazing.
James –
Don’t even get me started on these guys. I mean, they drop the likes like there’s no tomorrow and it’s so obvious that this was done by a robot that I didn’t know how to stop it completely after just a few minutes! Awful service. I would give it a 0 if I could. Don’t waste your money on this one! Also, even if it does have a few things going for it, this service is too pricey compared to others.
Danielle –
I like that you can receive likes from certain countries (this was very important to me) and from a certain gender – this is especially useful when you are targeting women for specific products for them. If you set things right (the delay between likes and so on) this service can be quite good. But it’s not easy to realize what and when you need to set things. The price could be a bit lower if you ask me. I’ve seen and tested other similar services that had a lower price point and was as good. I know they are offering interesting things here but with a better price, more people would join.
Kevin –
Support took days to respond to a simple question. I need to know there’s someone there to help me right away not have to send in a ticket and await a reply that will come who knows when.
Ian –
As soon as I found out they were not accepting PayPal I should have just went away and tried some other service but I didn’t. I wanted to test them out and although I lost a bit of money I learned a lesson: trust your instincts. It’s better to avoid this one as it’s not good at all.
Jerry –
I had issues making a payment, could not get a card to go through. My bank told me that fraud had been reported from the merchant provider.
DingleBopper –
All of the likes were from India and I saw them dropping off like crazy.
Jeff –
I posted this on Trustpilot and the review was removed. Seems Stormlikes is pretty good about scrubbing any real reviews.
I received the following message
“Stormlikes reported this review Feb 4, 2019 for violating Trustpilot guidelines.”
I suggest anyone trying to review this site do it here to prevent censorship.
Aubrey –
They do have nice looking accounts. Some had me fooled even if I knew they were fake so they’re good. Their problems come from the delay of the likes as sometimes these are just sent too many, too fast. If they would work on this, I would definitely be willing to give them another try.
Lily –
Not that $15 is a lot but this service doesn’t deserve paying as much. Considering the constant bluders they’ve done, they shouldn’t cost more than $5. The good parts are just not enough to make up for the bad ones.
Perry –
No live chat option, no phone number! How can such a service stay in business!? I had problems a few days ago and I had to wait for a reply to an email! Are you kidding me? They replied in 4 hours and by then I didn’t need their reply anymore. It’s just stupid not to have an online chat option with something like this. I haven’t paid attention that there was no way to contact them directly but I’ll be much more careful with my next account (with a different company of course).
Alex –
The lack of Paypal is indeed strange and after digging around a little bit I realized I didn’t want to use these guys. I’ve heard of good things and bad things about them and I don’t want to risk it. There are better companies out there, that do accept PP.
Riana –
They have a few things going for them like the quality of accounts but then again their support leaves to be desired. I need a quick reply and a fix as soon as something bad happens and I didn’t get that. I’ve had a few questions after they’ve sent some likes shortly after posts were posted. I had to wait a few hours to get a reply and by then the damage was done. This could have been a good service.
Daniel –
It’s really strange that they choose to send all of the likes right after you post something. It’s easy to see this is fake so I had to just stop using them as soon as I saw this done.
Aubrey –
I tried to reach out to their support to complain about the quality of likes and I received a rude response back. After I posted a review elsewhere Stormlikes was able to get it removed.
Looking at their Trustpilot page you can see that they have been pretty successful at getting any bad reviews removed only to leave their fake looking ones that they get their customers to leave using their inventive program https://stormlikes.com/rewards
These are not honest people and you should stay far away from them.
Alice Rubio –
Service is pretty reliable but doesn’t really preform as well as I wish it did. Sometimes the likes are too fast and don’t come in spaced out. Although, one thing I do like about the service is country targeting. It’s a nifty feature which makes the service worth while, at least for me.
Miguel –
I had no problems with Stormlikes. The likes came when I wanted them to and the profiles looked real to me. Unfortunately I had to quit using them because my bank kept flagging the charge being that it came from a processor outside of the US. Maybe I will check out one of the other providers. Do any of them accept virtual currency? That would be helpful.
Joyce –
No consistency. Likes are constantly down and posts are missed. Wen you contact them I just get the runaround.
Arthur –
Lousy service with constant “outages”. I called my bank and disputed the charges. I suggest anyone using this service to do the same.
Hailey –
I complained that I didn’t receive likes to a post. Customer service sent me a message sorry for the inconvenience a week ago. But today the likes stopped working again. It seems to be an ongoing issue. Very unreliable.
A –
It is a scam.
LB –
Stormlikes is not at all reliable. I would guess that they cannot use PayPal because of disputes just from my experience with them. They take your money and provide inconsistent service at best, and customer service is token at best. When things go wrong(like when they overcharge your credit card for purchases you never authorized) customer service basically replies pretending to need more details, then when you give them the proof and the details, they basically reply that they have no record of the problem and have a nice day. I just got a lovely little email from them telling me they’ll no longer accept payments from me(AS IF I’D GIVE THEM MORE BUSINESS) bc I filed a dispute with my bank over eight duplicate charges they made to my account without authorization. After trying to reach them to resolve the issue for over a week, I finally had to file a dispute with my bank to get them to respond and THAT was their response: “We won’t do business with you bc you won’t let us charge what we want on your card with impunity.”. These people are crooks. Don’t trust them with your card info or your business; they’ll misuse both.
Reverend John –
Stole my money and delivered ZERO followers. EXPECT A CONSEQUENCE
Derya –
Paid, but got scammed. No likes, no reply on my messages nor e-mails, no picking up the phone nothing. I do not recommend to anyone.
Camilia –
there are many websites that offer the same services, many times better + many other options including followers and likes for other social media platforms, and for a fraction of the price ( at least 10% of storm likes price)
Sp –
Did NOT received order. Link to track order emailed is broken does not work. Does not reply to emails. Contact page on website does not work. Live chat is a cheat too no response!
Franchesca –
Horrible. They charged my TWICE to my credit card, ordered 500 followers and only received 400, then everyday i lost some of the followers, two weeks later i only have 300 of the 500 i bought. customer service never responded
Theresa –
Thieves, take money and deliver nothing. I have reported to PayPal so hopefully after I report to five other agencies they will be gone!
Franz –
It is a scam. I paid for 1000 followers and received nothing.
Their chat does not respond either.
This website is a SCAM. They promise nice things and won’t deliver anything at all.
Unfortunately I paid with Cryptocurrency and there is no way i can get my money back.
Scam artists…stay away from them. It is really sad that they are mentioned on so many websites.
Moustafa –
Garbage they are scammers,they will…
Garbage they are scammers,they will send your first order then take back half of it when you make a second order it’s like paying twice for the same order,and sometimes they will never send any likes or answer,TRASH
Chris –
Scam. Dont give them aby single penny
User –
1. First time I make an order I asked for a 3 hour delay. All of the likes were delivered in 5 minutes making the whole engagement look fake.
I decided to try one more time-
2. So I made a purchase for 1,000 likes to be delivered as fast as possible. 2 hours later- nothing. I email support and there’s no answer. 2 days later there is still no likes delivered. They send you a delivery tracker and mine still reads 0/1000. I then message chat service and it’s been no response now for 12 hours. So I had to file a dispute.
Jasmine Robinson –
Waste of money. Followers disappear in 24 hours.
Bryce Fredrick –
Well, a heck of delay and fake followers and no live support. BuyLikes.net is far better.
